Fragments of Terror:

Drawings by Jim Starrett

January 16 - June 11, 2012

Jim Starrett is an L.A.-based artist who explores concepts of religion, heritage, and the clash of differing historical interpretations. Fragments of Terror provides a rare opportunity to introduce many significant works by this artist to the USU community. With 27 paintings and drawings on display, this exhibition shows how Starrett's works, "...vibrate with such cool passion, such fiery ice, that they seem at once both hard products of a systematic rationality, of an almost mechanical design, and works of extraordinary emotional resonance...", - Patrick E. White.
